Dr. Willie Ong Reveals 7 Ways On How To Protect Your Kidney
HOW TO PROTECT YOUR KIDNEY – In a video, Dr. Willie Ong shared some tips on how to take care of the kidneys which perform very important functions.
A lot of people now are suffering from kidney problems. Most already have a kidney disease even before they noticed that something is wrong in their health. Sadly, kidney diseases are among the hardest and the most expensive to treat.
On the other side, taking care of the kidneys won’t cause much. It only needs discipline and the determination to stay healthy. Based on a video of Dr. Willie Ong, there are seven(7) simple ways on how to protect your kidney:
1. Limit your salt in-take
Salt can both lead to water retention and high blood pressure that is why it must be limited. It can be greatly obtained from fish sauce, instant noodles, salted fish, and junk food.
2. Limit high-protein food
Food that are high in protein like meat must also be limited. The protein makes the kidneys work harder.
3. Maintain a 130/80 blood pressure or lower than it
According to Doc Willie, the kidneys are safe with a 130/80 blood pressure. Thus, you need to avoid factors that can spike it like the food that are high in cholesterol.
4. Maintain a blood sugar that is 120mg/dL or below
Aside from high blood pressure, another leading cause of kidney failure is diabetes. You may control your blood sugar with medicines and diet.
5. Drink enough water
The ideal intake of water is at least eight(8) glasses a day. You can drink more most especially if you are into sweat-eliciting activities.
6. Limit your intake of pain relievers
Also one of the ways on how to protect your kidney according to Dr. Willie Ong is to limit your pain reliever intake. It may have side effects like damaging the kidneys.
7. Have your kidneys checked
You may undergo laboratory tests like urinalysis and creatinine test based on the video. It can help you monitor the health of your kidneys.
